Drillbit Taylor

Okay, I can sorta see why Owen Wilson slashed his wrist, but then again it wasn't THAT bad...

Owen Wilson ("You, Me and Dupree" and "Wedding Crashers") a street-smart scam artist who lives in the undergrowth by a freeway in Southern California, begging for handouts on an exit ramp.

Three hapless teenage boys are starting high school and want more than anything, to be seen as cool, with it, and acceptable. The school bully spots them as easy marks, they hire Wilson as their bodyguard and the story begins.

This formulaic drivel is written and produced by some folks who have made a fortune writing and producing formulaic drivel, Seth Rogan ("Superbad" and "Knocked Up") and Judd Apatow ("Forty-Year-Old Virgin" and "Anchorman"). Suffice it to say, this is no better and not much worse than usual.
